platypodes

platy· podes | \ˈpla-ti-pōdes\

noun, plural

the obscure, but only genuinely correct plural of “platypus” according to both Linnaen taxonomy and rules of pluralization in the Greek language, as “Platypus” is the latinisation of the Ancient_Greek word πλατύπους (platupous), "flat-footed", from πλατύς (platus), "broad, wide, flat" and πούς (pous), "foot”.

Unfortunately, it is almost always eschewed in favor of the absolutely incorrect pseudo-latin term , “platypi”, or the Standard English plural, the vulgar “platypuses”.

Einstein: Oh, dude, you do mean “platypodes”, yes?

Stephen Hawking: Of course! Forgive my lack of fastidiousness!

Einstein: It’s all good, dude!

reach a plateau

To reach a point where gradual progress is no longer possible and stagnation is likely, where advancement can only be achieved by a sudden, difficult, and possibly risky leap up to the next level

I'm worried about Joe. Without a college degree, he could reach a plateau in his management career.

plasy nade stick

A preferred method of instant rape in the Halo series of console FPS games. Occurs when a plasma grenade delivered by a very lucky or highly skilled thrower directly contacts the body of an opponent. The grenade then gives the new owner a death omen in the form of a small beep and explodes miliseconds later, killing instantly without regard to the state of health. Overshield cannot even protect. It's arguably the most satisfying form of cornholing in all of Halo, especially if done across the map. Comparables are Killamonzaros, no scope beatdowns, mouthy 12-yr-old halo t-bagging, bulltrues, and zeit skeets.

Hart: "No scope beatdown I'm one in a mil."

Pigster: "Quit campin Hart, tell me you saw that plasy nade stick across the map."

Hart: "cool. Rape sauce."

Platehands

Running in a fashion where your hands look like they are superglued to dinner plates.

John Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack in the BBC TV series "Torchwood", when running or being chased by aliens, runs with the palms of his hands flat and facing each other i.e. 'Platehands". This is meant to create the impression that Jack is "dynamic" and an "action hero", but instead looks like he's been involved in a domestic accident and not had time to attend the casualty ward.
